Thanksgiving and the holiday season represent a time of joy for most Americans, when the prosperity of our nation becomes especially visible.
Yet for many people in our community, the reality is quite different. Those experiencing homelessness or living on the edge lack the means to participate in the celebrations that define this season for others.
We encourage those among us who are blessed with resources to take action during these holidays—even in modest ways—to bring some cheer to those for whom this time of year offers little happiness.
The act of giving to others enriches our own lives in ways that material gifts cannot—and we urge our readers to contribute what they can to support those facing genuine hardship this holiday season.
